Description

Olympic Games/ Summer, 1968/ Mexico/ Air France/ Menu/ Autographs/ Exceptional "Air France menu for the French Olympic team flight from Toulouse to Mexico City, via Montreal. Friday, September 27, 1968. "Olympic Games Mexico 1968, Toulouse-Mexico flight by Boeing Intercontinental..." This one, called "Le Josselin", is superbly represented on the front page, by a watercolor by the subtle Pierre Pagès (born in 1933, Air France gave him wings, and thank God, he's still flying)...At the time, all Air France long-haul flights were named after a Loire château, as here. This marvellous souvenir of a unique flight features eight pages, three of which are devoted to lunch and dinner...For the record: lamb noisettes, salmon and tournedos are all there, along with a few fine bottles of Bordeaux and other wines...It's an embassy of savoir vivre and savoir manger on the move, and the three pages of autographs are a happy testimony to this....Among the more than 110 signatures and drawings (some of them duplicated in the euphoria), we find several future Olympic medallists, or great figures: Maryvonne Dupureur, Gapais, Arabo, Noël, Vallée, Cottard, Sainte-Rose, Villain, Carette, Wadoux, Boudehen, Gourrier, Maier, Cosentino, G.Barnay, Grava, Alayrangues, Ugolini...Forgive any deciphering errors or omissions, as some signatures are not easy to decipher...28x22, open: 28x45. A few stains testify to age and air holes...It bears on the front cover the words "Jack Le Goff, Sports Equestres, Bien amicalement, en souvenir de Mexico"...For nostalgia and autograph hunters.
